Just dropped in for the first time. Looks like a nice game, but after Ive fighted the 2 demo-enemies without greater resistance I tried to look for an onlinegame. First I noticed that the 1.5 autoupdate is broken but it shows that 1.6 is available? Broken too? Then I joined the chat full of idlers and a non-player.

4 downloads from different sites later of what was called "Version 1.5" but wasnt version 5 (in fact they were 1.2 and 1.3) I posted to the techforum and got a very fast response from Omroth with a valid DL-Link of 1.5. This version patched fine, but now was the chat-option, I used before, gone?!? Angrily I installed MIRC to get to the chatroom. Still no onlineplayers and the non-player that was downloading the client. The client didnt accept his registration-key...

After a new look into the "Join"-Game option I saw a server and clicked without reading - not available for the Demoplayers! Wonderful! No other server around - no player who could open a server on his own - and not even the damn option to lure my roommate on an existing server to give the multiplayer a try!

I dont write my experiences to make any offenses, rather to point out a few thing that should better not happen. Not every newbie is so enduring as I am.

Albeit this problems the game looks and plays very innovative. Never got the hang on DBTS but this game plays very smooth. Would be very nice if there would be a persistent demo-server online. ... and the chat option from older clients (not everybody get easily the hang on IRC-clients).

Oh, I havent bought the game - it was somebody in the channel!
Right now I dont think I want to buy it before testing it in multiplayer, because I had a nice test with the AI-enemies. I pointed the blade down and let them constantly run into my blade and so I won most of the rounds... Wasnt very appealing to beat the AI this way, hehe!
So is there a way that a server for demo-players will be online?
